Human Obama Logo in Anchorage – Video

29102008

Here is the video from last Saturday’s event in downtown Anchorage! Hundreds of Obama supporters gathered in the freezing cold for over an hour to send this video postcard to their fellow Americans “outside.” Enjoy, and pass it on!

Has anyone seen the video of Sarah CLEARLY stating to Charlie Rose that she has One son, Her one and ONLY son who is proudly serving in the Military? If so, please post!

CO Almost Native(12:01:02) :

Awesome video!

CNN has Michael Carey from ADN on, discussing Stevens and the election. He points out that Stevens could win the election- and serve, as the appeal can be drawn out for months. He explained that the honorable senator had done a lot for Alaska (meaning pork), and many still liked him. Rick Sanchez was shaking his head…

Don’t ya just love politics?

DuckDriver aka Rot Pipeline Palin(12:01:03) :

Wahoo Alaska! I just got back from early voting and have cast my vote
for Obama/Biden.

It sure feels good.

Great video – I especially enjoyed seeing Obama supporters from other parts of your great state.

DonnaInMichigan(12:01:30) :

Thank you so very much for sharing that with all of us.

It brought tears to my eyes.

We gotta win this…we just gotta…

I really don’t know how I could deal with it, IF John McCain wins……….

Jamie, Floridian in France(12:03:51) :

Weird – on my sons computer it says 0 responses – on my right next door it says 3 responses. How weird is that?

I love this video and what you all did! It does warm my heart and bring tears to my eyes all the way “outside” here in France.

Maryland is going to vote Tues. on whether to allow early voting (two weeks early.) For having some many educated people Maryland can be backward sometimes.

Hey(12:07:05) :

Actually the Charlie Rose interview was before she was pregnant with Trig….

Alaskans – you are TRUE BLUE in my mind – no matter what the final count is Tuesday.

I was grinnin’ and my eyes were fillin’.

That gives me hope, cause I live in hopelessly (for now) red Texas.

And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music.

I find myself moved to tears as I see this lovely man and all his wonderfully diverse and cheerful supporters sending out this message of Hope for a better day.Make sure you see the pictures of his speech in Chester, PA on Tuesday in his jeans and sneakers, soaked to the skin before 9,ooo equally soaked people of differing ages and ethnicities. BEAUTIFUL!!!

Alaskans who see the light and are supporting OBAMA
YOU ARE AWESOME
Thank you from your friends in the lower 48

You folks in Alaska continue to blow me away.

And you walk really fast too!

Blue Girl from Virginia(12:15:37) :

That was the most wonderful thing! I’m actually crying. We have to win next Tuesday…we have to.

Can someone please tell me how I can get the link to this video to send to my friends and family?

Thank you, Alaska! One of these days I’m going to get there on a cruise.

ocliberal(12:17:58) :

Bless you wonderful Alaska!

Oh that was awesome, awesome awesome! I am literally sitting here at my computer at work with tears running down my face. I think it’s just the shear humaness of it all that made me cry.

The power of the Internet and the YouTube have brought so many beautiful images, pictures, stories and events to all of us this magical election.

It’s just amazing what a little hope in the hands of the right people can do!

I’m emailing it to everyone I know right now…

WE CAN NOT LOSE THIS ELECTION!!!!!!! VOTE AS IF YOUR LIFE DEPENDED ON IT!

Hope – on the last thread I posted an apology for my rant and asking Alaskans to take her back. I have to run so I don’t have time to cut and paste, but please accept my apologies. I didn’t mean to offend the good hearted people of Alaska!

O M G !!! Alaska you are AWESOME!!! I have tears in my eyes, thank you.

CO Almost Native(12:22:56) :

Just in!

CNN reports a shocker: suburbs are swinging toward Obama in key red states!
In Colorado and Indiana, now are leaning Obama, due to the burbs. The state of Washington is solid Obama, Florida a toss-up, Obama up by +4. I am no longer a spec of blue in my red burb- the economy, foreclosures trump the Repug mantra of low taxes.

I don’t want to jinx it by doing the happy dance before Tuesday night, so I’m humming a happy song in my head…

Bec Hussein in Illinois (12:04:25) :

Beautiful -brings tears – again.

Yeah :o) Doesn’t it… and it says so very clearly that HOPE brings out the best in people (as opposed to hate bringing out the worst.)

I was just reading back on an old thread, and am also majorly moved at the actions displayed by Dianna and Martha. I just so wish I could help somehow.

I am attending a Good Luck Obama party being held in New Zealand’s largest city, Tuesday night. Just to let you know that plenty of people outside of America are with you in spirit. And all of my US friends living here have confirmed they have already voted for Obama.

I just cannot see how they can steal this one. Kia kaha (be strong) all.

I can’t see the video. Could you please post the link to You Tube or wherever it’s posted???

I was there and I’m dying to see the video!

29102008

JoTheGirl, Buffalo, NY(12:25:55) :

The eyes of the world are on you, Alaska, and you look mighty fine!!!
Listened to NPR discussion about bloging today and thought of Mudflats as they discribed a 900% increase in ADN online readership because of blogs.
When people come together for a cause, wonderful things can happen! Just wait to see what we can all do together on January 20, 2009!!!!!!!!!

Tom from PA(12:29:00) :

Finally, its my turn.🙂 Joe Biden will be in my neighborhood tomorrow and I’ll be taking my oldest son plus a fraternity brother.
On monday, my youngest son was attending college 2 blocks from the Pittsburgh Obama rally (he voted by absentee ballot for Obama last week) but declined to attend because of a microbiology class. There was an angel on my one shoulder telling me that he made the correct decision and a devil on my other shoulder telling me that it is a once in a lifetime opportunity. I’m proud that he made the decision he did and will watch the infomercial tonight instead.

29102008

Erin(12:29:47) :

SMR- Yeah, I just tried it, too. Didn’t work. I guess I’ll wait until I get home- it might be blocked here because I’m at a school. I bet that’s the problem! Boo, I have to wait until tonight!

29102008

Bobg(12:31:21) :

So many strange thoughts running around my head as the election gets closer.

1. Bush #1 spoke of a “kinder, gentler America. Maybe Obama can show him how to do it.
2. People think of the government as their enemy. Maybe Obama can change that.
3. Our government gives lip service to environmental concerns. Maybe Obama will be different.
4. There is despair in this country that is eating us alive. Maybe Obama has the prescription for that.
5. Progress to the future has been held back until the government found out how to allow corporations to make money off of it. Maybe Obama will lead us to progress.
6. We are hated around the world. Maybe Obama will change that.
7. There has been a “me first” attitude in this country for years. Maybe Obama can make that “us first.”
8. Our less fortunate citizens have been passed by for many years. Maybe Obama can see every citizen as equal.
9. Cost effective has been a buzz word for years and the disabled, injured veterans and those born with birth defects have suffered because it was not “cost effective” to help them. Maybe Obama will stop considering what is cost effective.
10. Our regulatory agencies are giving lip service to the law and people are dying because of it. Maybe Obama will make them do their job.

29102008

Hope(12:32:46) :

All is well, WRANGLER!! Thank you so much!! I knew you didn’t mean it.

I’m downloading the video on my SLOOOOOW dial-up! Can hardly wait to watch it!!! Did I hear some of our pix from down on the Peninsula might be in there, too??! WOW! I’m feeling SOO BLUE!! 🙂

HOPE!

I am sure many of you have seen this video but for those who haven’t its worth a few minutes. Ron Howards call to action video, with Andy Taylor!!!

It was so cold that day, but it so worth being part of it. It was a hugely diverse crowd — white, black, Alaska Native, men as well as women, kids, dogs — & it was a lot of fun too. Great editing on the video, & great to see people from other parts of the state too — that brought tears to my eyes. Thanks for having this idea, & you did a great job editing the video too! Now time to pass it on to all my friends.

Contrast the happy, upbeat people in that video with the hate-filled, ugly name-calling you see on the videos of McCain/Palin rallies –

29102008

WV Democrat(12:43:14) :

AKM — Truly wonderful! I wish I could get that kind of participation here! Inspiring!

Kisses and hugs and hugs and kisses to all you wonderful Alaskans!
You make me weep with joy. I am so proud to be “virtually” associated with you all.

OT:
I sent this out to my entire address book this morning. I feel like I’m hanging on by my fingernails ’til Tuesday. My mama used to say, if you need comfort—comfort others. So here’s a big dose for y’all.
—–
Hey friends:
With less than a week to go, I for one am suffering from Pre-Election Stress Disorder. Anyone else?

Here are three very, very inspirational videos to tide us over.

This first is about Gen-we (the demographic group born between 1978 and 2000, which by 2016 will be the vast majority). Bless them! and their fellow travelers (I’m in! And you?):http://www.gen-we.com/

This one is about the place of music in changing the world and you all know how much I subscribe to that particular belief. The video called Stand By Me is (part of a full-scale documentary featured on PBS’s Bill Moyer’s Journal the other night). You can read about it here. It was put out by a filmmaker who started a group called Playing for Change: Peace through music. It’s awesome.http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=_A_ma2h0idk

and here is “yes we can” — I hadn’t watched it for a long time — it still gives me goosebumps and tears.

Blue Girl from Virginia (12:15:37) :
For a link to the video just copy the address at the top of this page (make sure it’s the page with the comments below. That won’t change.)

And to all, yes, I too had tears. Beauty is a powerful thing. I know it shouldn’t matter if AKM is a man or a woman– but I’ve come to believe only a woman could spin this much magic, inspire this much joy, about politics.

Remember – Nate Silver picked the Rays to be in the World Series last year back when most people were still calling them the Devil Rays!

This guy knows what he is talking about…

His advice today:

Here’s a fun little reality check for those of you who are sweating the trackers. Since our last update yesterday evening, I have added 34 polls to my database, including both state and national numbers. Barack Obama is ahead in 32 of those 34 polls. The two exceptions are in Arizona and Alaska, the home states of John McCain and his VP nominee, respectively.

29102008

Big Al from Las Vegas(12:56:42) :

Best Video ever. Loved the Music. Adored the sign that read “Christians for Obama” and “Latinas for Obama.” Too dope!

I think it’s time for Obama to go for the knockout blow and campaign in Arizona and Alaska.

29102008

Goalie Sanka Palin in NM(12:57:05) :

Applause!! Applause!!

Laughed some, cried some and danced the whole time.

Thank you, Alaska. You are the spirit of America!

29102008

Bec Hussein in Illinois(12:57:08) :

BigPete — I was joking too – except I really am going to the opera. The Pearl Fishers. I think Obama is our “pearl”!

29102008

Big Al from Las Vegas(12:57:10) :

Anybody know what is up with Sarah Palin rallying high school students in Ohio today?

Is this part of the RNC’s end game strategy to commit voter fraud by busing 14- and 15- year old children of right-wingers to the polls on Election Day to do a little shoulder-tapping in the attempt to get some adult’s legit voter card and commit voter fraud? Sounds like an evil political adaptation of that movie “Saved!”

The Adult Voter: “What do you want kid? Why are you tapping my shoulder in front of the election hall? We are not in front of a liquor store, and even if we were I wouldn’t buy your high school butt alcohol.”

The 15-year old child of the right-winger: “Oh, no sir. I am not tapping your shoulder because I want you to buy me alcohol. My evenagelical parents say it is a sin to elect a Muslim terrorist Marxist to be President of the United States. Oh, and they think he teamed up with O.J. to kill Nicole Brown Simpson. And, something about him and Michael Dukakis freeing Willie Horton. But, anyway, I will give you $50 bucks for your voter card so I can vote for Sarah “Barracuda” Palin. She’s my favorite. I have a photo-shopped life-size photo of her in a bathing suit hanging in my bedroom. My parents made me take down the poster I had of Halle Berry because they said I might become an Obama supporter if I started to fantasize about having a girlfriend from another race. Don’t tell them but I do have a girlfriend from another race. I met her online. She’s from California and she’s Dutch Indonesian. Cool, huh?”

OK – so can anyone identify the music in the vid?

“Let’sGetReal for “That One” (12:49:41) :
I have Palin Mental Stress Disorder!!! Can I get a lawyer and sue her for mental anguish?”

No, it’s actually considered a form of demonic possession, so the courts won’t touch it. You need an exorcist. I don’t know who to recommend since Rev. Muthee is clearly engaged elsewhere… But come to think of it, he’s part of the problem, too. I guess you’ll just have to wait for it to pass on Nov. 5th, you’ll have to cope with knowing that you’re a campaign veteran and veterans will definitely get treated better under an Obama administration.

Catherine Howard (11:59:31) :

Has anyone seen the video of Sarah CLEARLY stating to Charlie Rose that she has One son, Her one and ONLY son who is proudly serving in the Military? If so, please post!

That interview was done on 10/12/07. Not really relevant at this point.

29102008

Bec Hussein in Illinois(13:00:05) :

Big Al – maybe she is planning on preaching the “Abstinence Only” message to those kids in Ohio?? Just asking.

29102008

knife pile palin(13:02:47) :

lol, this is good from…… Dan Treul, titled “Obama Signals the end of days, Colorado Evangelicals tell Irish Times”

thing is, christain Evangelicals REALLY do believe this end time prophecy stuff!

“It seems to me that Sen. McCain’s campaign rests on arguments of little substance: that Sen. Obama’s middle name (Hussein) automatically links him, in the minds of some, with the deposed and executed Saddam, and with radical Islamists. Perhaps a similarly absurd analogy could be drawn with Senator John’s surname. In the Bible, Cain killed his brother Abel. Since McCain means ‘son of Cain’ Q.E.D. the senator must be related to the first known murderer!”

Hmm, it’s tempting, but more than likely not enough to convince evangelicals to abandon McCain. ‘Palling around with’ the first known murderer isn’t horrifying enough, I guess.

29102008

SE_Idaho_Reader(13:04:42) :

CBS News has just reported today (even though the link says 10/28) on SP’s use of state monies for her family’s travel:

This is hilarious. I just got finished changing all my ringtone, message tone, and voice mail tones to Yes We Can and the Obama chant. Hope on over to mudflats to be greeted by this awesome video! You Alaskans are awesome.

Now, for a crazy question. What is the likely chance that people who vote for Begich will vote for McCain???

29102008

Lana, KY(13:10:00) :

Just found out the lyin’ witch of the north will be within 50 miles of my house this evening. She’s having a rally in Jeffersonville, Ind @ 6:30 and they expect some 20,000.
I thought the air was smelling a little rancid all afternoon ~ at least now I know what’s causing it. Bring on the air freshener.

I’m crying. You’re all so beautiful. There IS hope for Alaska, and America, and the world. Love it! The music is great too. What is it? I’m an oldie I guess..don’t know what it is. Might be great for doing chores to. Love the different colors that make up the flag too..brilliant. Is that an original Alaskan idea?

Now Senator (soon to be President) Obama just has to come here, doesn’t he.

I had an idea (again) after watching him suffer in the bad weather in PA. (And started thinking about during the raingear rally in Juneau Alaska) How about we come up with some dignified head gear so that he can keep the rain/snow off? Surely there are some artistic designer types in Alaska who might have an idea. I’m thinking the big yellow hats, rainhoods, and things with “bills” are not too Presidential looking. But maybe if someone thinks of something worthy of a stylish (yet humble) Leo he would wear it. What do you say? Senator Joe Biden and others in his campaign could wear them as well.

And when he comes, we’ll all give him cover like you wouldn’t believe (as far as body shields..)

Proud Community OrganizerWA(13:13:46) :

Thank you Alaska for that! I am sitting her with tears in my eyes! I don’t have the words to describe how you have moved me.

Obama links to the PLO? OMG. The RNC is truly a bunch of clowns. No better way to turn offf Independents that to continue to sling mud. No wonder Arizona is a toss-up state.

knife pile palin-

Yes, the rest of us in CO have a love/hate relationship with the sizable population of evangelical wingnuts that reside in the Springs- we love to laugh at their ludicrous statements, but we are embarrassed by their hate. (The normal Springs residents prefer to ignore their existence.)

The homosexual meeting Focus on the Family was having? They sincerely believe that sexual orientation can be changed by prayer. Of course, they look at us who live in the Denver-Boulder area with great suspicion…

In this video- an interview on Charlie Rose from unknown date but recently.

Palin talks about her “one and only son” who is in boot camp….

curiouser and curiouser Alice…

29102008

Lori W.(13:18:18) :

OOPS. Sarah said this to Charlie Rose in 2007, before Trigg’s birth. Sorry.

29102008

Buzz B. in Wisconsin(13:22:26) :

Way to go Alaskan’s. The video is a thing of pure beauty. Looks like everyone was having a great time even in the cold. Wish I were there. I got my first trash talking snail mail from the repub party today. Like a large post card glossy both sides saying Obama is king of earmarks and Obama will tax everyone to death.
Not one thing that mcsain will do as prez. WHY!! That guy does not have a clue of what he will do as prez. Neither does his running mate.

29102008

Goalie Sanka Palin in NM(13:22:55) :

@Lori W. (13:06:59

The video of Palin and Napolatino was from October of 2007. She didn’t acknowledge that she was pregnant, however

29102008

NoCalGal(13:24:56) :

Jeannie See- thanks I wondered about the date- but she says her son is in boot camp so I wasn’t sure HOW recent the video was.

Thanks for the clarification.

Sorry for the tempest in a teapot…😉

29102008

maria from Fla in Wa.(13:29:37) :

Thanks so much Alaska! I’m grinning ear to ear and plan on spreading that smile with your video! I’m sending it to everyone in my family.
My sister and cousin live in New York but have been canvassing in Pa. for the last month.
Thanks again with all my heart:}

29102008

CO Almost Native(13:30:55) :

Mudflatters- if you need a chuckle right now, read margaret and helen’s latest:

As someone living in Wyoming, the least populous state in the Union, it heartens me to see another small population state turnout so many Obama supporters.

It helps me feel better about our tiny turnout last Friday in Sheridan. We had about 30 people there. I guess the other 270 supporters were afraid to come out because the rethugs in our town are getting so nasty. sigh.

I’ll be SO glad when the 5th rolls around and this is done. Glad to see the dingbat return to Alaska where you all can hopefully hand her her hat.

29102008

Trini(13:31:41) :

OMG!!! That was wonderful! Thank you AKM! Alaskans ROCK!!! What joy and glee in your devotion to Obama! Dedication in the most truest and purest form. And such a delightful counterpoint to the backers of the other camp who spew hate and threats as their signs of support.

My dog is concerned that I am crying. Tears of JOY dear pup, tears of joy!

29102008

Pepper1939(13:32:15) :

Please, please, let’s do it and get that Obama man elected!

Wow. I got moosebumps, or as we say in Hawaii “chicken skin.”

This gives me hope.
Thanks so much for doing this and letting us be part of it.
Hope.
Vote.

Wow Alaskans you rock! My 3 year old daughter keeps signing “more” so that I will keep playing this again, and again, and again. And I happily am!!

I think I’ll just teach her how to use the mac – as in macintosh🙂 so she can keep it going while I get supper ready. I will be sending a link to all in my address book tonight so that those who still believe the falsehoods that SP’s still the most popular governor will come to realize that in the old RED state of Alaska there is a lot of BLUE!

What a positive and inspiring energy!
The video brought a smile and a tear.

Keep up the good spirit, Alaskans!
You might need it a little longer than the other 48..

— New ethics probe —

Travel Gate

CBS News has obtained a copy of the complaint that Frank Gwartney, a retired lineman in Anchorage filed last Friday, with Alaska’s Attorney General, Talis Colber in Juneau. “Palin ran on the platform of ethics, transparency and anti-corruption. I’m tired of the hypocrisy that exists in Government and people need to know the truth,” said Gwartney.

Thank you Alaska Supporters– you brought tears to my eyes!
Here’s another reason for me to be happy— my Obama sign arrived today! Just put it out!

Crust Scramble: ditto the wine and a rewatch.
Deep Blue in VA: glad to hear your husband went to the rally.

These are exciting times!
I’m trying not to think how close to Nov 4 we are and that this can really happen….

Obama/Biden

29102008

Big Al from Las Vegas(13:58:19) :

And now the RNC is accusing the Republican Governor of Florida of handing over Florida to the Democrats because Charlie Crist has extended Early Voting hours to accommodate all of the citizens of his state that desired to cast an early ballot.

Did Rush Limbaugh, Karl Rove, Sean Hannity, Ann Coulter, Steve Schmidt, and the ghost of Lee Atwater really believe they could suppress the votes of all African-Amercians, women, Latinos, and young people in 2008?

And, why isn’t Karl Rove in prison?

Thank you all for answering the Charlie Rose/Sarah Palin question. as you know, there is so much information out there. I can never tell if it’s new or old, or just made up.
I’m so tired of Political Lies. Sarah has worn out her welcome, even within the GOP. All this talk of her running for POTUS in 2012 is just sickening. No one wants her now; so what makes anyone think we’d want her back as a candidate in 2012?

OK
Lisa Derrick (firedoglake) just called and she cross-posted it to HuffingtonPost!
Can you say: V.I.R.A.L.?
within hours thousands and thousands will be seeing this!

@WV Democrat (14:26:46) :

My understanding is that he came back to AK in the spring of his senior year after getting injured playing hockey at the Michigan or Wisconsin hockey high school he went to for one or two years and then graduated with his class from Wasilla High School. That’s what the family said, and I have no proof otherwise.

I just got home from doing my 3 hrs of volunteering at the Demo Office, calling to remind people to vote on Tuesday. It was so much fun, and I enjoyed all the other volunteers. I am a bit hearing and sight challenged so being in a room full of people all talking at once, while fun and exciting did give me more of a challenge than I expected. What to do? What to do? I talked the leadman into letting me talk the program home so I can call from the quite of my own little office, with my big wide flat screen and my hearing enhanced phone. So, if any of you Mudpuppies are in ID you may be hearing from me in the next 5 days. I’ll just be asking if you are going to vote, if you know where your polling place is, and if you need a ride to the polls.

Vote 11/4 Obama/Biden

DEAR ANCHORAGE participants – you are way smarter than I’ve given you credit for, and I am humbled by, and very pleased with, your video. It is just amazing and lots of fun to watch (yeah and cry, too if you are a wimp like me).

And I absolutely love this blog, it’s the first site I go to at the end of a long day at work. It cheers me up so much to listen/see to your chatter.

Thank you AKM, it’s a joy to read your writings

Living here in San Francisco, it’s very easy to support Obama. This video made me teary-eyed. Thank you, Alaska! This is a wonderful expression of support!

Kim in Florida(14:41:33) :

We went to hear Obama speak at a rally in Sarasota, Florida today! Over 20,000 people there! It took 1 1/2 hours to get into the stadium, the streets were blocked off, lines were doubling back and forth up and down the road and through the parking lots. The place was filled to capacity. Campaign workers made statements like, I thought this was a really “red” area; we were pleasantly shocked to see so many people there! My daughter loved it and cheered with the crowd and we were so thrilled to see him on stage. I have pictures and video, but I do not know how to upload them here. I would love to share as soon as I can so any advice would be great.

I also just spent 2 hours carving pumpkins; I did mine with Obama’s face and HOPE on it. I can’t wait to light it up. What a beautiful day, very positive and the experience of a lifetime. 🙂🙂🙂

We had 100,000 people under the Arch here in St. Louis, and it was awesome to be there.

Right Winger Blog, ignores Annenberg’s and Reagan’s affiliation with Ayers to smear Obama!!!

First, I was born in Anchorage 6 months to the day that it became a state. We moved a year later and I have never been back. As a kid, I would study interesting facts about Alaska because Anchorage was such a far off place to the Midwest. I was very proud to be different than all the other kids. Funny, those silly little stories fade away as you get older, but when Palin was picked for the GOP VP my ears perked up. I’m sure Sarah is a nice person, but to lead the country that I volunteered to serve, I have never felt that she has ever spoken to me as a citizen of the USA.

But I must say that after watching the human logo video, there are a lot of proud people in Alaska. People that want nothing more than to be heard and show their love of country as well. I applaud you for your inspirational dedication in not just saying what an American is, but showing what an American is. It has made a middle-age distant native feel pretty good. Thanks for that! Good luck to all of you.
